Does anyone have suggestions about how to install pandoc on Arch? I am trying to install pandoc-static from here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pandoc-static/ , although it appears to be conflicting with my xmonad installation (I use xmonad as a TWM):
[grease-lightning]/home/.../builds/pandoc-static$ makepkg -s

update' to download it.
Resolving dependencies...
In order, the following would be installed:
data-default-class-0.0.1 (reinstall)
cabal: The following packages are likely to be broken by the reinstalls:
data-default-instances-old-locale-0.0.1
data-default-0.5.3
X11-1.6.1.2
xmonad-contrib-0.11.4
xmonad-0.11.1
X11-xft-0.3.1
data-default-instances-dlist-0.0.1
data-default-instances-containers-0.0.1
data-default-instances-base-0.0.1
Use --force-reinstalls if you want to install anyway.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...
I am afraid of breaking my xmonad TWM if I force the reinstall. What should I do?
Perhaps I should install Pandoc via
sudo cabal install --global pandoc
? If so, how should I install cabal
? I was thinking that I should download it from here: https://www.haskell.org/cabal/download.html
Any suggestions or recommendations are appreciated. I am also happy to clarify anything.
